Contemporary Research QMOD-HDSC HDTV Modulator

CR QMOD™ technology is opening the door to new HDTV applications. The QMOD-HDSC HDTV Scaler Modulator is the first HD modulator specifically designed for digital signage integration. The onboard in-stream scaler ingests signage at PC resolution, converting the output to 1080i or 720p video. In addition the scaler features up and down-scaling, zoom, shrink, and positioning.

Create your own on-site HDTV broadband distribution system using a variety HD, SD, and AV sources
Distribute digital signage, satellite, cable, and media as HD digital cable channels over existing broadband wiring
View HD sources at any destination using HDTV displays or tuners

Features

Super-easy scaling for VGA or Component input up to 1920x 1080 (see resolution list in Specifications), Auto-scales by resolution, format in two simple steps:
- Horizontal - Up/down arrows zoom and shrink, left/right move image on horizontal axis
- Vertical - Left/Right rows move image up and down, Up/Down zooms and shrinks vertically
- Clock Phase ?_" adjust scanning to optimize image
- QMOD-HDSC automatically saves formatting for each resolution and refresh rate
Converts PAL video to NTSC
Accepts NTSC composite video, user can switch between NTSC video and HD input, or use GPI inputs to switch to EAS video/audio input
